My Interview with Legendary Austin Musician: Bevis M. Griffin on taintradio.org

Hello Folks!

This Spring, I had the pleasure of interviewing Bevis Griffin for my show FreeWorldNetworkRadio-X .
The 4 part interview is available on the archives at taintradio.org. Follow this link to listen and learn about this legendary Austin musician.

Bevis Griffin

Bevis Griffin’s bio:

“Born April 26, 1953, Bevis is one of Austin Texas’ premier musicians and has been performing there for over 38 years as one of the earliest pioneers of the Texas rock music scene. Bevis has performed with numerous groundbreaking groups over the years such as Franklin’s Mast, Fools, The Skyscrapers, The Bats, The Shades, Banzai Kik, Chill Factor, Rawhead TechX, Solid Senders, Dino Lee’s Luv Johnson, The Cosmopolitans’, One Fell Swoop, Papa Mali & the Instigators, R.C. Banks, Bevis & the Painkillers, and currently The Paradigm (featuring long-time principle collaborator and guitarist extraordinaire C.K. Bailey). As a bonafide musical maverick and live performance phenomenon, Bevis has been widely acclaimed by the University of Texas as one of America’s earliest Afro-American proponents of the Hard Rock/Heavy Metal genre, historically pre-dating the later emergence of the so-called Black-Rock Movement of the late 80’s characterized by an eclectic mixture of significant Black artists such as Prince, Bad Brains, Fishbone, Living Colour, and Lenny Kravitz by half a decade. Bevis has been publicly honored and awarded the keys to The City of Austin in 1996, and to this day he still continues to perform, write, produce, and collaborate with many of Austin’s most prominent and highly regarded musicians of today.”

I call this a “Mashup” within itself… I suggest you be there – so “put your high-heel sneakers on”…. We take it to Porto, Portugal after this.

Interview with DEATH on FreeWorldNetworkRadio-X This week 4/29/10

bmack — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 14:17:57 +0000

What’s up, folks! Several weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting the band DEATH (recently acknowledged as preceding the “punk movement” by at least 5 years). We talked after their performance at Europa in Greenpoint, Brooklyn on April 2nd with their son’s band Rough Francis and Sister Anne . The interview is short, but offers great insight to the phenomena of their unexpected re-emergence after nearly 35 years! Thanks to Bevis Griffin “The Black Rock Maverick” of Texas, I got to rap with these gentlemen who never stopped playing music and whose sons continue in their tradition! Also coming up is the 4-part interview I had with Bevis Griffin who has been an important influence on the culture of music in Texas since the 1970′s. His story will be podcast on Taintradio.org VERY SOON!
